Archbishop of the Greek Orthodox Church Atallah Hanna on Friday expressed his rejection of the decision of the US president Donald Trump to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel saying that this decision has unveiled the true face of the US biased policy.
Speaking to al-Jazeera TV channel Hanna stressed that Jerusalem is the capital of the state of Palestine and described Trump’s decision as a “provocative and aggressive move”.
Hanna added “The US decision means nothing to us” noting that there is a systematic process aimed at imposing full Israeli sovereignty over Jerusalem.
Archbishop Hanna called on Christian and Islamic bodies around the world to adopt a clear position against the US decision and declare their support for the Palestinian people and their just cause.
